This type of meeting between the outgoing and incoming presidents was considered customary, but Trump did not invite Biden for one after making unsubstantiated election fraud claims that culminated in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

The US policy will almost certainly remain the same: to support and arm Israel while largely ignoring the Palestinians’ plight in Gaza.

Kamala Harris may have offered a promise for some, but it was a change in appearance and not substance, and that alienated voters who vote based on principles.

In a "congratulatory message" to Trump, Xi "pointed out that history has shown that China and the United States benefit from cooperation and suffer from confrontation", state broadcaster CCTV said.
